Description
English: 2007 T80: Post-Medieval Silver Thimble Date: 17th century Description: Complete silver thimble of tailor's type i.e. open-ended. The thimble is now slightly flattened and split along its original join so that there is a gap of approximately 5mm between each end. The thimble is decorated with a design of four running crosses which divides the design into ten square fields which are filled with raised sub square dots. There is a double border to the lower edge. The upper border contains the inscription + FARE GOD ONLY. Dimensions: Height: 20mm, thickness: 0.76mm, weight: 4.99g. The object contains a minimum of 10% silver and is over 300 years old. Consequently it qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996 in terms of both age and precious metal content. Caroline McDonald Colchester Museums February 2007
